Race and Ethnicity in the United States

The Minor in Race and Ethnicity in the United States, administered by the Department of Anthropology, is designed to assist students in understanding the social context of racial and ethnic categories by focusing on how it is constructed in the United States.

The minor is available as an elective to students who are enrolled in bachelor’s degree programs in the College of Social Science. With the approval of the department and college that administer the student’s degree program, the courses that are used to satisfy the minor may also be used to satisfy the requirements for the bachelor’s degree.

Students who plan to complete the requirements of the minor should consult an undergraduate advisor in the Department of Anthropology.

Additional information about the requirements may be found in the Academic Programs Catalog on the Office of the Registrar website.
